Tested

After a particularly intense week, we regroup to talk about the ways in which we chilled and reset ourselves over the long labor day weekend. Norm recaps his trip to Galaxy's Edge, Will read The Fall, and Adam shared his favorite cosplay he saw posted from Dragon*Con. Plus, an appreciation for the puppetry in the new Dark Crystal show.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Adam Savage and the Smithsonian Institution collaborated on Project Egress, a plan to create a LIFE-SIZE replica of the Apollo 11 command module hatch! The build entailed hours of planning, scanning and organizing the 40-plus artists who would contribute parts, and it all culminated on July 18, 2019, when Adam and a team of makers assembled the hatch LIVE at the National Air and Space Museum!

How do you digitize something as enormous as the Space Shuttle Discovery or as fragile as Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 spacesuit ... and why bother? Jen Schachter visits the Smithsonian's Digitization Program Office to learn more about the multipart process -- and the technology -- involved in safely scanning and creating 3D digital models of museum objects.

Continuing with our practice of experimenting with miniature effects we've seen online, Kayte and Norm try their hand at building a snow scene with a previously-assembled tank model and rocky terrain display. Watch as we make snow puddles, melted snow, and simulated powder for this winter war scene!

This and over 180 other suits of armor and now up for auction for collectors and cosplayers!
